Review: Ms. Marvel #11

Ms. Marvel #11 is the final installment in the four-issue “Generation Why” storyline, finishing off the Inventor’s arc. It feels like it’s been a long time since the last issue and I think this is one of those times when serial storytelling isn’t at its best. This whole issue is about polishing off the arc, but it’s…… Continue reading Review: Ms. Marvel #11

2014 End-of-Year Book Survey

For several years now, I’ve done a categorized “Best Books of the Year” list — originally on Facebook, and on the blog last year.

Why Fans Love Ms. Marvel

Originally posted on Comparative Geeks:
Ms. Marvel #1 has recently entered its seventh printing. Seventh! That’s practically unheard of in comics, especially for a total newcomer like Kamala Khan.

Review: “Loki: Agent of Asgard” #5

At long last, I’m back with another Loki: Agent of Asgard review! It’s been three months, and I was already behind. Issue #5 will finish off the first arc. Then I’ll read the intervening Thor & Loki: The Tenth Realm, their Original Sin tie-in. That’s already out in collected form — I don’t know yet if I’ll do individual…… Continue reading Review: “Loki: Agent of Asgard” #5

A Positive Review of Gotham

Three television viewers break into whoops, cheers, and insane flailing. What would cause such a thing? Oswald Cobblepot walking into a police station and saying, “Hello.” Then the viewers replay the scene and cheer all over again, because we really love Gotham at my house. We love it a lot.
